Tawny vs Ruby Ports
IN this short video, Andrew White introduces the main styles of Port and explains the differences between them.
Tawny port is a type of fortified wine that comes from the Douro Valley in Portugal. It is a style of port wine that is aged in wooden barrels, typically made from oak. The aging process imparts a tawny colour to the wine, as well as a mellow and nutty flavour profile.
Tawny port comes in various styles, primarily distinguished by the length of aging and the characteristics that develop during that time. The aging process occurs in wooden barrels, which imparts specific flavors and colors to the wine. The age indications on the label give consumers an idea of the style and complexity of the tawny port.
Tawny Ports generally have T-stoppers and should be stored upright. The Port has developed and matured in the barrel and so when bottled they will not improve with storage - nor should they degrade. Tawny Ports should not require decanting but some wine-makers prefer minimal filtering so they may contain a fine sediment. We recommend serving slightly chilled in a white wine glass so that the aromas can develop. The wine has already undergone oxidisation in the barrel so will last a few months in a restoppered bottle.
